Ordered two Extra Large pizzas (pepperoni/sausage) and a cheesesteak with fries. The bill came to $67. Here is the issue. Paying for an "extra large" at this establishment means that they give you a bigger box and cut the pizza slices uneven or in half to make up for the count of pizza slices. I can't believe Flowers doesn't have a reputable pizza place. I couldn't distribute the pizzas evenly within my family. WHAT A DISGRACE! I am attaching pictures of this embarrassing overpriced pizza. read more

Ordered a Bianca through Grub Hub and it seems the restaurant made the pizza way ahead of schedule, not per the grub hub driver schedule. Pizza arrived cold as can be and the box was not sealed shut, looked like someone had been picking toppings off of it. WHY wouldn't you seal the box shut, do you not have any damn tape? if you are offering your goods via grub hub or door dash, invest in some branded servility measures (they are cheap) and ensure your customers get a safe and untouched meal. read more

Moved here 6 years ago and this restaurant has fallen apart with their overpriced food that has lost most of its flavor. While it was a good fast food italian at one time, that time has past. From non interested monotone receptions when ordering to the drab atmosphere, My last chance was today with a meatball parm, 4 major bites into a 15 dollar sub with no taste of meat, finally noticed 3 golf ball size meatballs hidden under all the cheese and bread. Pretty obvious cutting costs read more

Chicken looks like it's been thrown in a dehydrator. Not enough sauce to make it edible read more

Third time ordering take out pizza. First time the pizza had so much cheese it was almost inedible. Second time I ordered light cheese and it was fine. Tonight I also ordered light cheese and this is what I got. How is this acceptable to anybody? The manager needs to supervise what comes out of the kitchen. read more

I went with my husband to this restaurant. We recently moved to the area. The food was good, we can both agree that they do take a very long time to bring out the food. The cheese calzone that we had was delicious. We waited endlessly for the tiramisu dessert. I can say that we waited about 45 minutes for it to come. The restaurant inside was okay. read more

Amazing, authentic food. I will say their salads could have a bit more umph (or at least the gyro salad, I haven't tried any others yet), but overall the food sets them apart from other food spots in the area. Truly delicious food, ESPECIALLY the garlic knots. I have truly never had better garlic knots. I think the menu items are a great price for the amount of food and quality of food given. The owners are extremely kind and personable and go out of their way to make you feel at home. My boyfriend and I stopped here to get dinner once and he was unsure of what to get (he couldn't decide between two options). One of the owners gave him a saltine cracker with a small cup of sauce so he could try it before ordering. The restaurant is always clean, organized and the lighting is nice. We have been here a few times since moving to the area, and plan to visit many more times in the future read more

Come on now -- that eggplant parm was Pitiful !! Plenty of tasty spagetti , nice garlic bread , side salad was fine but my gosh --- where was the EGGPLANT !!?? read more

Got the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Pizza. So much cheese and barely any chicken. My pizza was 80% cheese, which was ALSO cold because my pizza box was not shut. I door dashed too... why wouldn't you put a seal/tape so some random person doesn't touch my food? Cmon guys. That's a norm nowadays. Anyways- the buffalo sauce was nasty and almost had a spoiled taste, chicken looked like canned shredded chicken, and just overall not good. The dough didn't even have flavor and had a gummy texture. Avoid this place if you want a decent pizza. If you want a bottled diet Pepsi, sure, can't mess that up! But beware, you'll be spending $3.50 on a drink alone read more

My husband and I have gotten takeout from here just once, but it was a smooth process and the food was tasty so we will be back! We called ahead to place our order and when we got there at their estimated time, everything was ready to go. We got the Eggplant Parmesan and Beef Ravioli for entrees and the tiramisu for dessert because I can never resist a tiramisu. It was all delicious. One thing to note is that the beef ravioli was in a meat sauce, not stuffed with the meat as the online menu indicated. I especially loved the breaded eggplant and tiramisu! read more

The food (chicken salad sandwich and breadsticks) was very appetizing, and staff were friendly and kind. 10/10 would recommend!

Went online and ordered a pizza and sub. I was given a time for pickup. When I arrived, the area in front of the registers was packed with others either waiting to order or like me, waiting for food. There were plenty of workers in the prep area to get the food out but it was clear what the holdup was. The "manager" was hold court and telling jokes the entire time. Nobody was doing their job because he wasn't doing his. Finally, 30 minutes after my pickup time, my order was ready. Unbelievable. Never again. read more

First time here and no much of a reviewer person. But this place was awesome, the calzone is def something to try. The attention was amazing, polite and respectful at all times. The food takes a little bit but it is fresh and I would rather wait for something good and recent made than frozen things. Def coming back. read more

Calzones are awesome. Pizza is decent. I have never eaten in but every time I do delivery it takes over an hour and I live less than 5 minutes away. So don't do delivery. If you can't pick it up or eat in Try somewhere else. read more

Run, don't walk AWAY! This place is terrible. They tell you 45 minutes but it's really over an hour. Every time. You ask for vegan cheese and they charge you an arm and a leg and then give you regular cheese. I got two pizzas and a kids pasta and it was $55 to have my night ruined. This is not the first time this has happened but I guarantee it's the last for me. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. read more

We ordered pizza delivery through Grub Hub. Pepperoni pizza was much better than the entrees. Very good crust, right amount of sauce and toppings. read more

My husband and I stopped in here on a rainy weekend. The restaurant had a few patrons, although mostly to-go and DoorDash orders. The staff was friendly but the food not so great. I ordered an eggplant Parmesan sandwich with fries, and my husband had a BBQ chicken personal pizza. The fries were pretty good but the chicken parm sandwich and pizza crust were both bland, and my husband noted the chicken on his pizza was dry. We won't be back. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend. read more

Ordered an eggplant sandwich to be delivered. It was terrible, burnt and dry. It ended up in the garbage. When I called to complain, I was told there was no manager on duty and that she (girl on phone) had looked in the box and it didn't look burnt to her. read more

very slow service - there were 13 of us waiting for our pick up orders that were 20-30+ minutes past the pick up times. I chose to order from here tonight because I love their mozzarella sticks, but I guess they switched breading because the mozzarella sticks were AWFUL. Would not order again. They also didn't cut our pizza and it was super soggy and almost impossible to eat with your hands. this is the first negative review I've ever written because typically I just let this stuff slide, but it was REALLY bad service read more

just moved to Clayton and have been searching for good pizza. This place was amazing! Had a large pepperoni and an order of buffalo wings, and it was all great! read more

Done with this place. Last 2 pizzas we bought are doughy. I made a point to put it on my last order. Still middle not done. Coulple of years ago they were not like this. No more! read more

We've been here before and things are always good. This time we called, to place a take out order. We had to call a couple times and were put on hold when we finally got through, but I'm guessing they were busy with orders, no worries. We ordered a 12 inch gyro and an order of penne ala vodka with a side garden salad. Both meals were good, i didn't have much sauce on my pasta so I was a little disappointed. The flavor was good and it came with a breadstick. Overall it was a good quick and easy take out experience. read more

A few times a month we have family over for dinner get take out from here, the food is okay. But, recently my wife and I stopped there for an afternoon snack and ordered two slices of pizza. The counter person told us they don't do slices after 2:00. We left without ordering anything and went to another Pizza Parlor. To their loss they forced us to go elsewhere to find another Italian restaurant and we've never been back to La Cucina. read more

this place is amazing. me and my family got served by the younger male worker, he was so polite and apologetic when i told him about my ranch he forgot. the atmosphere and ambiance was very homey and the food was reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend read more

The food was delicious!! They made it fresh only problem is that they were so busy it took a good while waiting there for the food! I think it was definitely worth it in the end! The environment was clean & everyone was doing to go orders so wasn't full inside & lots of available seating! Pizza was great!! The kids Alfredo needed some seasoning! read more

Been awhile since my last update and was rather disappointed when a saw many 1-2 star ratings. Today was my second take out order in 2 months, both have been consistent but today was very impressive. With age comes challenges and my wife has developed a very bad Gluten allergy to the point of well, she cannot even touch it. So, we ordered a Gluten Free Pizza and I ordered a Bistecca Calzone, plus we topped it off with 1 1/2 Cannolis, being 1 with another with just filling and no shell. Everything was spot on, the pizza was perfect and my Cannoli was the size of an elephant turd! Long story short we have food for tomorrow! The Cannolis were good too! Yeah, yeah, I read all of the New Yawk and Joisey crap on the thread. Newsflash! This is North Carolina! Finding NJ and NY Pizza in NC is like finding great Que and Pimento Cheeseburgers In NY and NC, yeah I lived in NJ for 10 years, my wife is a Jersey girl so I can make the comments lol. So, for NC my last two tours have been good! read more

Wife had a chicken parm sub that was pretty good. Jr had a kids pizza that was passable. I wouldn't go here for pizza but it wasn't bad. Me of course got garbage. Tortollini Alfredo. Which turns out to have no Alfredo. Seems that shredded shitty mozzarella is the same as Alfredo. Got a pollo bbq pizza to take home for oldest son and he said it was food. Nothing you'd want again but starving it's ok. So overall I think this place is an avoid read more

Food is consistently tasty. My favorites are the beef gyro and "make your own" pizza.

The ingredients are fresh and delicious. The oven they use for pizza makes the crust the perfect texture. The tiramisu is devine!

Ordered for the first time tonight and will never order again. I ordered the Penne Alla Vodka and what I got was glorified buttered noodles with about 1 tbsp of sauce in the entire dish. Not to mention I ordered spaghetti for my son off the kids menu and my entree was the same size. Charging $14.50 is highway robbery. I understand times are tough but that is why people aren't going to waste their money on food like this. I dare you to look at this and tell me it's worth almost $15. read more

Best garlic knots anywhere. I've also enjoyed their lasagna and spaghetti. The pizza was fine, but nothing special. Fresh salads.

No masks. Despite the signs on the door telling customers they must wear masks, none of the employees were wearing face coverings. If my order hadn't been been paid for in advance I would have left it behind. If I had been thinking more clearly, not so shocked, I would have demanded a refund on the spot. You've lost another customer. read more

It can get backed up sometimes but other than that the pizza is always really good. Order at counter then seat yourself.

I have been a patron here a number of times over the years and many times the food has been good and other times not great. Frequently I have been the only patron and at times the service has been very slow. However at other times food and service have been excellent. I don't know if this due to a change of staff. They do seem to keep a clean atmosphere and that is why I still stop in. I wish them success but would like a bit more consistency. read more

Best pizza ever! Just moved to the Clayton area and am so happy we found this place. Everything here is amazing.

Cheese Pizza , manicotti , side salad. Pizza only looks that good because we added seasoning . Tasted like store bought packaged cheese. It lacked flavor . Bread stick that came with manicotti was good I'll give that a 4 out of 5. Manicotti was pretty good just the cheese ...again packaged cheese. The sauce was very good. The side salad was average... lettuce, tomatoes red onion and one cucumber. Oil and vinegar was premixed and too much vinegar. Poor quality oil. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio and that wasn't too bad. I'm trying to find a pizza like back home ...NY or CT and to date have been unsuccessful. I'll give it a 4 because of manicotti and service. Staff was friendly and food came out in decent time read more

This place was so so so bad. We just arrived from Florida and thought we would give this place a chance despite their lower reviews. Please don't go here. It was so gross. The salad was brown and old lettuce and SMALL for $10. The chicken parm sub was missing all the add ins I paid for and was burnt. They also forgot my side. My husband got the fettuccine Alfredo and he could barely finish it. Dry gross chicken, lack luster sauce and a cold bland focaccia bread. The only thing that was good was the Diet Coke. Our first meal here in our new home and it was a huge let down. read more

Good food. Their pizza is better than many kthwrs in the Raleigh area also. If you appreciate good taste and good value, it's a nice neighborhood Italian option read more

Food is hot or miss. When they miss it's bad. Pizza sauce is inconsistent in taste. Same goes for food being ready on time read more

No sauce on the Cajun Shrimp dish. Well maybe a tablespoon. I ordered this last Sunday it was delicious. Nothing like Sunday.
